Over 40 years after he raped a 13 year old girl, others in the entertainment business aren't going to overlook it?

I guess in the "me too" era, even Polanski isn't immune.

That actress is hypocrite and just wanted to make a show. If she was really that disgusted by Polansky she wouldn't have gone to the ceremony who had nominated Polansky and his movie in around 10 categories. I mean, what a surprise he won one prize out of 10 !

The French state that they have the ability to separate 'the artist' from the man, or who they are in private life.

I wonder to what extreme would they abide by this?

If Hitler was a superb artist (his works were described as fair by critics) would they think the same?

Not for much longer, he has to be pushing 80.

Chinatown is regarded as one of the best movies of all time.

I won't be alive to see it,but 50 years from now this great movie will always be tied with the director and his sexual misconduct.

Congrads Roman! Survived the Holocaust, Manson, and US corrupt judge. Still going strong after 60 years and winning awards. Ignore the Me Too haters.

You wouldn't be saying that if he raped your underage daughter. Dumbass.
